Pep Rally Activities

Arts and Crafts 101

Come by early to make your own Starburns sideburns and Evil Troy and Abed goatees at the Greendale Arts and Crafts table outside the Paley Center Auditorium!

Community Trivia Contest

How many paintballs were fired in the seminal Community episode “Modern Warfare”? How many students graduated in the Greendale Class of 2011? How does Dean Pelton keep his head so shiny? Think you know more about Greendale, Community, and Inspector Spacetime than anyone else in NYC? Prove it at Paley Center!

Community Costume Contest

Magnitude… Kickpuncher… Luis Guzman… These are just three of the greats lining Community’s pantheon of iconic characters. Come dressed as your favorite Greendale student or professor for a chance at adoration and prizes. We’ll be giving out awards for our favorite costumes, funniest costumes, and most obscure costumes, as well as audience prizes. Sign up to participate at the Arts and Crafts table.

Greendale Pride Poster Contest

Why do you love Greendale? Show us your school spirit in typical pep rally fashion — on a crudely drawn poster. Make a Greendale Pride poster at home or stop by the Arts and Craft table for supplies at Paley Center to scrawl out your love for the Straight A’s of Greendale (Accessibility, Affordability, Air Conditioning, Awesome New Friends, and A Lot of Classes). Posters will be hung outside the Paley Auditorium and prizes awarded just before the screening begins.

Pop-and-Lock-Athon

This may be a joke. Or it may be real. We don’t know yet, but pray we run out of time before we kick this bad idea off. Pop-And-Lock-Tober just may come early this year!

What’s Up For Grabs

Willing to endure public shame to show your support for Greendale Community College? Prizes for our Trivia, Costume, and Poster Contests as well as Pop-and-Lock-Athon include Community T-Shirts, New York Comic Con tickets, posters, and shirts, and free admission to future Paley Center events!
